Norm Given your interest in marine engineering, I would think that putting a rig on your boat would be a "fun" project. I lot of work for sure, but fun and gratifying. I know that you built your boat. I would find gratification in bringing the project to completion. I am nearly a senior citizen and still sailing a 39 foot boat. I think the problems of sailing being work for senior citizens are overblown. Assuming normal health, how much work is involved with sailing is partly a function of attitude. Assuming one has proper winches and equipment, its not that hard. The hardest work for me is furling the main and I plan to install lazy jacks by next season. Most of us are in this activity because there is pure joy in the art of sailing. Its worth the work. Bill
